Help Support Professional Engineer & PE Exam Forum:
In Texas if you pass you just get a score of xx%.
If you fail you get the score, but you also get the diagnostic that shows yy correct out of 80.

Congrats to all the new PE's! And don't let this get you down for those who take another shot in April!
They should give you a 20% bump in salary just for getting an almost perfect score

I think it is easier than the other depths, or I just got lucky on few questions perhaps

First time taker.

TBPE site says score = 74.00

I don't think so. If you pass, you don't get diagnostic results from NCEES. I passed TX PE Chem with an 80, but no idea of the # of questions correct.

You passed. Be happy! Anyone at the cut or higher are the same. Doesn't matter how many you got right. That's why ncees went to p/f - they didn't want people to use it as a job credential. Seems like Texas is the only one that gives a score because it's in there law or something.

Seems a little unfair to the test taker in both cases.
Why give out a score without giving it any meaning. I mean what does telling you you were in the 83, 75, or 65 percentile mean, if they don't tell you where the line was. theoretically, you could be in the 60% and still pass, depending on the distribution of results. It's like the NCEES diagnostic. When I failed in April it compared me to the "Avg passing score". Don't care about that. Let me know how close I was to the lowest passing score.
Also, if I go through the effort and expense of taking the test, pass or fail, you should at least tell me what I scored, what my percentile is among test takers, and what the cut score was. We're engineers here; give us metrics!!!! I know NCEES knows all this stuff. How hard would it be to give that data along with the meaningless pass rates among first and repeat test takers? NCESS should do a focus group.
